Same.

I have the codes of 4 level 7s that my CG teacher told me to look into. I think I'll just put them down. I don't even know what they are..

Edit: Just looked them up. Yeah, I might like them.
Better than nothing, I guess.

There's nothing that says you have to have something on both lists, but it's never a bad idea to use both just in case you suddenly realise in between then and now that the degree in Sanskrit which you always dreamed of doing just isn't for you after all! :pac:



(Quite seriously, come August and there's always a few people who have had a complete change of heart over the summer, get the course they originally wanted and now don't want, and freak out.)

Hey, don't make fun of Sanskrit :pac: I can still read that ****. I can't understand a word of it though..

Badwulf

Oh so wait if I have a level 8 course and level 7 course I get two offers then? I thought Id only get one offer no matter what?

randylonghorn

But Nim, I didn't choose that example deliberately because you were around at all!!



>_>






(And I'm not really making fun, tbh; it's just an example of a fairly unusual choice! )

No, one offer from each list!





Does ANYONE ever even skim the damn handbook?!!

/cries



Edit: That bit is even made clear in the damn CAO sticky at the top of the forum, and that's only roughly a page long!!!

Seriously, though, it's



so much of the time!!

Ka_yl_ei_gh

I read the handbook whilst bored in careers class once and then reread it when avoiding study :pac:

randylonghorn

At least you read it!

Always puzzles me how people will graft for two years to get the best points possible, but won't spare an hour to figure out how the system that uses those points actually works.

And a lot of them give themselves a lot of unnecessary stress as a result (or worse, make silly mistakes).

thelad95

So, just to clarify, 10 is your highest preference on the CAO form and 1 is your lowest preference?



































:pac:

Peregrine

8/10 of my level 8s are physics degrees :pac: And the 9th is Engineering.

The last one is just in a completely different category altogether.

On a less technical level, I'm not convinced you were ever really in it!

Ah no, YouTube will probably do the job if I wanted to learn Sanskrit :pac:

It's a course in DCU called Politics, Law and one other word I liked but forgot

Edit: Economics, Poltics and Law in DCU!

Typical Darwinist.

In Theology, it's not about being in college, it's believing that you're in college.

Im reminded of this thread last year.

Particularly this part :pac:

I'm just glad to know I can move down my list to the course I really want rather than my first choice that I put on to please my parents.

I put my choice in order of points, that way if I get my number one but don't want it I can choose one of my lower choices instead.

I don't mind them saying it, people will have second thoughts, it's when they think they can make it happen!! >.<

A little birdie told me that if I call CAO between 6:04 and 6:07 using a phonebooth and a thick russian accent they will change my first choice to something else if a transfer 50 euro to an off shore account in the Carribean.

Your bag-handling skills were infamous, Dan, even Jay commented on it!

Ka_yl_ei_gh

Ah we used to turn bags inside out in TY :P

Corvo Attano

Bag turning was an art all throughout my school. Th eentire class working in unison to get the bag to the expert turners and then spreading the books across the room without the teacher noticing and having the person rage when they came in

Seriously, it gets my goat that people will spend 2 years swotting for LC and not at least skim the CAO handbook for half an hour (you don't need to learn it off, like! :P)

They give themselves so much extra stress for nothing so often, not to mention that some do the stupidest things because they don't understand the basics of the system.

Wow Randy. A year on and you almost said the exact same thing word for word :P

In my school they would slice open the bottom of your bag with a Stanley blade and all your stuff would fall out. (Take the sexual meaning with that sentence and you'll be wincing for days!)

Rote learning at its finest.

You just repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it, and repeat it,and repeat it, and repeat it.


Im not sure the LC was an entirely wholesome experience

thelad95

We used to do all sorts of mad stuff. The lockers in our school were really old, so you could easily kick them open. We would kick two lockers open, swap all the books and watch as chaos ensues.

The old penis on the board never gets old either, especially with permanent marker.

We also used to steal the projector remote control and start switching slides. It drove our biology teacher insane.

Stupid questions in class was always great as well. For example, we would have an English christmas test and this one gobsh*te would always put his hand up and ask if we needed a calculator for this test :rolleyes:

Annoying our careers teacher was always a weekly highlight as well. We'd think of a new question to ask every week that would always drive him insane. For example, ''Can you apply for a restricted course in the change of mind?'' ''Can you apply for a PLC through the CAO?'' ''Do you place your courses in order of points?'' ''Can you use your mock results instead of your real results?''

We were a bunch of saddos :P
